FineBuild can configure the Sysadmin accounts that are needed by SQL Server.

Details of the accounts that are given sysadmin rights are given below:

Account Description
Account that is running the SQL FineBuild install process
DBA Team Sysadmin group
SQL Server Service account
SQL Agent Service account

Security Compliance

Sysadmin Accounts configuration helps to focus SQL DB Engine administration rights on to the DBA Team. If you setup Security Compliance then Sysadmin Accounts configuration will always be implemented.

FineBuild Configure Sysadmin Accounts

The Sysadmin Accounts configuration relates to Process Id 5CB and is controlled by the parameters below:

SQL Version Parameter FULL Build WORKSTATION Build CLIENT Build
SQL2019 /SetupSAAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2017 /SetupSAAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2016 /SetupSAAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2014 /SetupSAAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2012 /SetupSAAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2008R2 /SetupSAAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2008 /SetupSAAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2005 /SetupSAAccounts: Yes Yes N/A

In order to maintain compatibility with older versions of SQL FineBuild, the parameter /ConfigSAAccounts: can also be used.

FineBuild also uses the following parameters to help Configure Sysadmin Accounts:

Parameter Default Value Description
/GroupDBA: GBGGDBAS01 DBA Team Sysadmin group
/SQLSvcAccount: none SQL Server Service account
/AgtSvcAccount: none SQL Agent Service account

FineBuild will automatically give these accounts sysadmin rights in SQL Server.
